I feel like this is going to add to existing thoughts about the limits of service. Lee in East of Eden is an example of service work brimming over into domesticity and parenting and care. Here, service turns into romance? How exploitative are both scenarios? Odd to read only Zweig's letters and just one--of dubious accuracy--of Lotte's.
